Great Day To Be Alive

from positivechristianity.net

Never miss the opportunity to be fully alive—and there’s only one time and place to do that: right now, today.

“What day is it?”

“It’s today,” squeaked Piglet.

“My favorite day,” said Pooh.

“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.”

—Ralph Waldo Emerson 

Today, when I woke up, I realized something powerful:

This is the best day of my life—so far.

There were times I wasn’t sure I’d make it to this moment… but here I am.

And because I’m here, I choose to celebrate.

I celebrate the life I’ve lived—the achievements, the blessings, and yes, even the challenges, because they’ve helped shape who I am today.

I will go through this day with my head held high and a grateful heart.

I’ll stop to appreciate the seemingly small gifts I receive:

The morning dew

The warmth of the sun 

The rhythm of the river

The whisper of the breeze

The beauty of trees and flowers

The joyful sound of birds

None of these simple miracles will pass me by unnoticed.

Today, I will share my excitement for life with others.

I’ll make someone smile.

 I’ll do something kind for a stranger.

I’ll give a genuine compliment to someone who needs it.

I’ll remind a child how special they are.

I’ll tell someone I love just how much they mean to me.

Today, I stop worrying about what I don’t have—and instead,

I’ll start being grateful for all that has already been given to me.

I’ll remind myself that worrying is just wasted energy.

God is in control, and God’s Divine Plan is unfolding perfectly.

Everything will be okay. 

And tonight, before I go to bed, I’ll step outside.

I’ll look up at the stars and the moon with awe and wonder.

And I will praise God for such magnificent gifts.

When I lay my head on my pillow, I will be thankful

for living the best day of my life.

And I will rest peacefully, like a content child—

eager and expectant,

because I know...

Tomorrow is going to be the best day of my life—again.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: 

“I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.”
